[Player/Coach Comments]

"Diego OLIVEIRA"
"I think the goal scene was a quick play, but I am grateful for the wonderful through pass from Adailton."

(What was missing to turn the game around?)
"Kobe is also a great team, and it was a difficult game in terms of the flow."
"We want to fix the points where we were unable to score despite having several chances after catching up to a tie in the second half."

"Kensuke NAGAI Player"
(What I was conscious of when entering the pitch)
"First, to give the team momentum."
"I was playing with the belief that if we could score one more goal, our chances would widen."

(Looking back at the goal scene)
"I was able to calmly put the ball into the goal because Adailton's shot fell to me."

(About your own condition)
"My condition has improved quite a bit."
"I want to strengthen the injured arm and improve my condition through muscle training."

(Formed a 2-top with Diego TABA as a substitute, but the coordination was)
"I have been playing with Diego for a long time."
I believe we can play with two top players like today without any problems depending on the situation of the game.
"We understand each other's strengths and can cover each other's defense from the front line, so I think we can work together well."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"Today's game didn't start off well."
'We can do it' is the feeling we had when we faced the game, but often, when we think 'we can do it', things don't go well.
Kobe also aimed for the back in a simple way, and I thought I had to be careful from before the game. However, we were played as they liked from the first half, and we couldn't quite get into a rhythm.
We must continue to do our best in the beginning of the game.
I think it's very positive to catch up to a tie.
I think it was a very big result that Diego and Kensuke, who are strikers, scored points for the team because we couldn't score in the flow. So, I think the team will get on track, and it was a great result to score in a good way today.
In the second half, the game dragged on and it was uncertain which way it would turn, but this time we were beaten by the opponent. I think it's quite difficult to achieve back-to-back comeback victories in two consecutive games.
I feel that we need to focus on scoring the first goal and continue to fight.
Preparing for the Oita match in 3 days. We also have to travel away, so I want to make sure we prepare and condition ourselves well.

(Diego OLIVEIRA and Nagai have returned at this time)
"Diego has shown good signs since the last match."
Today, although I started on the bench, I put two players on the field in the midst of a difficult situation where we were losing.
I think it's very positive that we can score in the attacking line.
Nagai's comeback from surgery and Diego's comeback from a major injury in the ACL, I think when someone hits, the surroundings will be activated. In the previous round, Tagawa scored a gritty goal, so I think it's very positive that a goal was born in the front line today. "

"Kobe - Atsuhiro Miura Press Conference Summary"
"I think the start of the game was very good."
In particular, we were able to progress with our attacks and defense according to plan in the first half. Of course, in the second half, we conceded two goals after leading 2-0 and the opponent had momentum, but I thought it would be a difficult game if we didn't improve on these goals. We were able to win firmly even in a tough situation, and the substitute players who came in also showed their strength, making it a very good game."

(After leading by 2 points, about being caught up in a short time)
"Of course, the point of conceding is something to improve."
As expected, it is a basic thing, but we must firmly slide and challenge & cover while doing it.
"If you slack off even a little, it will give a big chance to the players of FC Tokyo who have individual strength, so we need to improve in that area."
